I have that on DVD but I havne't seen it yet (I saw the final episode only when broadcast) I need to see if I can get teh silly DVD player to work again.... He was very good in "Spooks"(MI-5) - well in the first series - in teh second they completely reinvented the character and I was miffed. I just think he is pure Numenorean and it seems bizarre he is playing a dwarf.

Is it my imagination or does Bombur look like Barliman Butterbur?

Methinks, Mr. Jackson should revisit the trilogy and pay particular attention to Gimli so he can remember what dwarves are supposed to look like.

I guess Thorin's bright blue cloak is a no-go ....
